To The Editor Of the Eagle.
In answer to an article in your paper OF
May Is, we wish to say that the fire alarm
referred to, was not turned in the Telephone
Company; but the gentleman who gave the
alarm turned in the alarm on an American
Dispatch Telegraph Company's box, which
is not connected with our exchange, and
over which we have no control. AS to the
doctors call the operator may have been al
fault, we know not; but change has beer
made and we hope we have an operator that
will not go to sleep.
It is a well-known fact that time seems to
fly very rapidly when you are waiting foI
an answer to your telephone call, and min
utes get to be hours. Men of unquestiona.
BILE veracity will declare that they nave
waited ten minutes, when the fact is they
have not waited one. Have little charity
until we get rebuilt and we will make vol
happy. Yours respectfully,
J.R. MULvANE, Pres.

amined by the following gentlemen yester-
day: Father Casey, Captain Smyth, O.
Martinson, NJ. York, Ed. Healy, G. Warick
and Mr.. Holloway.
After thoroughly discussing and examin-
ing the plans, it was decided to accept the
plans submitted by Architects Gould &
Rapp The committee report the plans sub
mitted for examination to be of high grade
of excellence and are thoroughly pleased with
the selection 1t is reported to be something
very different from anything as yet intro
duced in the city, and to be of high grade
of excellence

A SKIR1IlSH.

There was lively time in one OF the dress
making rooms of the city yesterday after
noon. 1t appears that the head of the estab-
lishment became too dictatorial in her re-
marks to meetthe appreciation of one of her
employees. Angry words were bandered and
then they sat to in great shape. The air was
filed with hair, screams torn dresses and
general uproar At last when the two COM
batarts were separated one Immediately
started out for an officer, intending to have
a warrant sworn out for the arrest of the
other, and thus it looks as though further
particulars may come out through the courts.

SHOCKED.

Yesterday afternoon during the storm
Mrs Dawson of South Emporia received
quite severe shock. She was standing be
fore her door when, by the discharge of
electricity over her head she was knocked
senseless to the ground. Several neighbors
ran to he thinking she was dead. They car
ried her into her house and DR.. Allen was
Immediately summoned: an examination
showed. however. that she was not struck by
lightning, as was feared, but merely shocked

AGAIN IN A MIDDLE.

And again the Wichita g. Suburban
Motor Line Company seems to be in trouble.
A member of the city council was interview
ed on the subject yesterday, and stated an
other obstruction was in the way OF the COM
pany.
It will be remembered that at the last
special meeting Of the council another ordl-
nance relating to that company was passed,
giving Market street from Tenth to Fifteenth
street in the right of way. The councilman
stated that that part of the route was In a
reserve and the council had no power TO
grant its use for motor line purposes, espec'
iaIly when those living along the route
objected. The objected was on hand, ne
stated, from those living in that vicinity
He had been accused by number OF gentle
men living there who made the assurance
that an Injunction wonld be served on any
company attempting to lay track there.
The news seemed to paralizs the council
man, and his inventive genius seemed to DE
put to its best work for an answer de
imagined that probably the company could
| 90 north on Water street to Thirteenth and
there skip across to Four avenue. lie was
| not certain that that route would prove salts
factory to the company, but it was the only
one that presented itself o him.
It is anticipated that the next meeting OF
the council will find remonstrance from
those people accompanied with the fact that
| the reserve power will be used to its full ex
| tent and hence a change is necessary.
He seemed to be alarmed over the fact that
the council basket was chuck full Of ordl
nances relating to motor lines. which, as yet
had not been acted upon. This work h
counted as being of the unenjoyable OF the

LOOKING FOR BUSINESS LOCATION.

Mr.. W. Mackey, of Junction City, arrived
in the city yesterday. He is member OF
the firm of Rockwell & Co., OF his city,
dealers in dry goods and queensware. de
came to the metropolis with the view OF
looking over the facilities for starting In a
similar business here.
1t did not take him long to observe that ne
had struck a live city. While for some years
having kept an eye on Wichita, he had not
been here for some time and was not exactly
prepared or expecting to see so live a clty.
The business activity seemed GOOD caro-
and caused him to be seized with the susplc-
ion that this was just the kind of city he
had been looking for. 1.-The boom being
busted'-busted on all sides with an increased
activity in residence builiiDg ard busted ID
the inside with brick blocks going skyward
as fast as men and money can make thelh
caused him to think he would ENJOY very
much to engage in business in town busted
like Wichita. He will remain IN the city
some days attending to business matters.

MAN STREET THEATER,
STOCK AND CROPS.

near the city, was heard yesterday stating
the condition of affairs in the country. de
said that stock was never in better condl-
ton at this season. The winter had been
mild and stock reached the spring In excel
lent condition.
AS to this years crops, he had nothing te
boast concerning wheat and oats, especiaiiy
the latter, but thought corn would be unusu
ally fine. He had never seen better stano
and the outlook was very flattering.

STREET RAILWAY STOCK.

Some DAYS ago a smart gent in the CITY,
who is: always figuring on Snaps" got a
good ''snap" by the.horns. as he thought. he
had found out that gentleman living east
had some stock in the Wichita Street Hall
way company. He was seized with the loea
that he could catch the owner mapping, ana
could get some stock for about one-fourth
value As a result of his conclusion he
opened UP communication with the eastern
gentleman. He lamented very much to Cd
serve that Wichita was not booming like it
did in olden times. After a very
doleful and heart breaking preamble,
he closed with the announcement that he
had q sucker on the string in Wichita. who
w anted to buy something, and he believed
that he could put off some street railway
stock on him if he could get any to sell. be
also reminded the gentleman that he had
heard that he had some of that stock, and In
troduced friendly editorial advising the
eastern men to sell to the sucker 'hrouSt
himself
The easterner read the letter, no doubt VIII
interest. He was amused at the wild breai
of the man who hoped he would hno
sucker. He replied that he was booked Tor
visit to Wichita in the near future
and Just hold his sucker until he came. Inc
home talent did not favor that amendment
to his program and replied Immediately
The great cry in his second epistle was tha'
his sucker would ere long get away iron
him. He in strong and pleading tones ao
| vised the owner to take seventy five on tnf
dollar for his stock while he could get it,.
Well, the eastern gentleman arrived but
few days ago; he found that the city was II
good shape and his railway stocks in simiial
condition. He asked two dollars for one anc
got it from his correspondent who himself
was the sucker.
